Question:

Answers:
"Coblation-Channeling is a unique patented process using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to achieve precise and rapid tissue removal. Most RF technologies only heat or shrink tissue. In contrast, Coblation-Channeling clears blocked airways by both shrinking and removing tissue for immediate results. In addition to treating snoring, Coblation-Channeling is used in Tonsillectomies and a variety of other upper airway procedures.

With Coblation-Channeling, a specialized Wand is inserted into the soft palate. Once the Wand is channeled into position, it is held in place for just 10 to 15 seconds at a time, compared to 3-5 minutes for other devices. This process immediately removes tissue and creates a lesion that, when healed, decreases the size of the palate and stiffens the floppy tissue responsible for causing snoring.

The Coblation-Channeling procedure takes about 5 minutes, and is performed in your doctor's office with local anesthesia. Although this is a minor procedure, it's normal to experience some after effects. For example, you may have a sore throat and some swelling for a few days, with a full feeling at the back of your throat. Your doctor will provide you with complete instructions for managing any postoperative swelling or discomfort. "
